FeedR - Android RSS ReaderIf you are going to be stuck on an airplaine for a few hours without a data connection, it helps to have a Feed Reader with offline reading capabilities. FeedR has been one of the best in business at caching feeds since the very beginning. Now it can help you enjoy your feeds even better. In v1.0.35 we added the image caching option. To enable it for any feed, find and check the new option under feed Properties, and on the next update FeedR will download and store all the images for that feed on the SD card. (Of course you better have plenty of free space on the SD card for this feature to work flawlessly.)

FeedR - Android RSS ReaderNews Reader that helps bring the Internet to you!
The best feature of FeedR is built-in Feed Search. There is no need to use the Browser and copy / paste or type in long URLs. Simply enter the name of the site or any search key words and be on your way reading your feeds. Just to be sure the feed looks OK and is exactly what you wanted you can preview any feed returned by the search before you add it to your list.
FeedR is built around 3 simple principles: Speed, Efficiency, Transparency. In addition to fast, responsive UI FeedR offers plenty of features that improve your feed reading efficiency. Being transparent means that we will not go overboard with effects and fancy controls -- because we know that mobile real estate is precious and resources are limited. We believe it is best when the UI is virtually invisible and nothing should get in the way between you and your feeds.
Look for FeedR in the News and Wether section on Android Market or download FeedR from AndAppStore.
Latest version is 1.0.54 (March 1, 2010.) See Change Log to find out what's new and what's changed with each version.
Below you can find screenshots of FeedR in action.
When you launch FeedR, you are presented with the feed list that you are free to customize. Green dot in the status line indicates that the feed is "fresh". It will first turn yellow and then red as the feed "ages" beyond the 30 min and 1 hour marks respectively. You can keep feeds "fresh" constantly by turning on automatic updates.
When you click on any feed it opens the Reading View presents a collapsed list of items. Clicking on a title expands the item and shows its contents.
By long clicking (or tap-n-holding) the item title you can access the actions menu.
You can tweak individual feed's preferences to create unique behavior for each feed. This screen is accessible through feed list: long-click on the feed, and select Properties.
To add new feeds you either enter the URL, or use the built-in Feed Search.
When looking through the search results you can preview feeds before you add them.
Creating widgets and shortcuts to feeds on the home screen is easy and lets you access any of your favorite feeds with just one click. The widget also lets you peek at the top-3 articles in the feed as well as unread article count.
With Settings you can configure how to display your feeds, setup automatic updates, notifications, storage limits and a few more useful options. To see all Settings screens follow this link: All Settings Screens
Never lose your custom feed line-up and metadata by backing it up to SD card in case you'll ever need an emergency restore.
